Own Your Own Online Affiliate Marketing Business

To own their own affiliate marketing business is the dream of many people, from all walks of life, both young and old. People who dream about owning their own business, often dream that seductive, wonderful and tantalising dream, the dream of being their own boss: the dream of becoming financially independent is so very real to them. The luxurious dream of not having to live from pay check to pay check, any longer. The, almost real, dream of not having to get up each morning, at some unearthly hour: for five or six days every week. Unfortunately, in reality, it will always remain a dream unless people take action.

Many people just dream about not having to go into work and face their boss, whom they just plain don't like: and, their normal routine. Their routine is usually that same old familiar, soul destroying, spirit crushing, routine; which, depending on where in the world you live, is at its worst during the winter months. It's the dreaded routine of having to get up in the morning, while it's still dark: then, when you get home at night again, finding it's still dark again. That's the routine that steadily wears you down; and, slowly but surely, kills people over the years.

Unfortunately for lots of people, who don't have any other options, this is the reality of their everyday working life, and it always will be unless they take action, and change that routine. That spirit draining, life sucking, mind numbing, everyday routine that destroys their happiness; and, sometimes, their very soul. Their routine of waking up, getting out of bed and taking a shower, of eating a hurried breakfast, gulping down a quick cup of coffee; then dashing out, maybe, in the rain or snow, to the dreaded daily commute, of maybe an hour or more in heavy traffic.

Ask yourself if your own routine of arriving at your 'j.o.b'; and, for the next eight hours, being at the beck and call of your boss, is really what you want to settle for? This, for five or six days, each and every week; and for, maybe, the next forty or fifty years: for the rest of your life, until you die? I ask this because there is a much more attractive, and much, much, more lucrative alternative: but, unless you do something about it, and take action, nothing will change!

Given the above harsh truths, it's no wonder that so many peoples' minds yearn for the freedom that owning their own online business can give them. Well, guess what, for those people who don't have a 'slave mentality'; for those who dream of living life on their own terms, and not having to answer to their boss, you can do just that. Because, with the advent of the new online digital economy, freedom is yours for the taking. Freedom now awaits people just like you.

For those who are possessed of an entrepreneurial spirit, and are willing to invest in themselves, and learn, there are now online business opportunities, such as buying and selling: or affiliate marketing, which allows people who fit the above description, to work from the comfort of their own homes. Affiliate marketing can enable you to travel; and, to be able to work from your own kitchen table, or anywhere else in the world. You can even work from the beach if you wish, (and if the weather permits.J)

Yes, there are some people who will hesitate, and start thinking about the responsibilities of owning their own business. About how they would be able to manage to do all of the different jobs that owning their own business will bring with it? I know that scares the living daylights out of a lot of timid people! There are some people who lack the courage, and tend to shy away from, even the very thought of, owning their own businesses: mostly because of all the different skills that are needed!

Those fears are ungrounded, kick them out, they should not be allowed to stop you owning your own business. The chief culprit responsible for those fears is the past mind conditioning that all of us have experienced, for most of our past lives. To give you an example of this, let's say that, if I asked you this question, 'Can you could finish this well known old saying?', "If you want something doing right, 'di dah de dah di dah'." I'll bet that you would very likely be able to give me the correct answer; because, as most of us know, we've been taught that the final words of this sentence are "do it yourself".

This saying was credited to one Charles-Guillaume Etienne, who was a 19th Century French writer. Since then, it's been passed on, over and over again; ad nauseum, by well-meaning parents, coaches, gurus and anyone else in the world who teaches self-reliance. For over two hundred years it has been gobbled up, without a second thought, and passed on by their disciples: also by their children, their followers and their minions. We've all been mind-conditioned into accepting as being the truth, the old saying that, "If you want something doing right you must do it yourself."

At best, this is suspect advice because, when you think about that saying, it's probably one of the worst pieces of advice to ever have become a universal cliché. Not least because, unless you're an absolutely superb expert at that particular, "something", that you need doing, how can you be sure that you are going to have the necessary skills that will enable you to "do it right", when you try to do it yourself?

Most human beings are highly proficient at only a handful of skills. So, for 99.999% of those "somethings", that you want doing right, isn't it better to find someone else to do it for you? Someone who really is highly qualified, and very talented, at whatever it is that you want doing: and, definitely, not to keep on slaving away, trying to doing it yourself.

In the new global digital economy there are people who earn their full time living working online, people whom you can hire to do anything you need doing. For example, let's say that you need someone to write great copy for you; or, to design and build you a highly converting web site and make sure that your site is optimized, so it will rank highly on the search engine results.

There are many hundreds of other 'somethings' that you might need doing; but, on the plus side, there are literally thousands of highly qualified experts online who are competing for our business, and who will do those 'somethings' for us: starting from as little as $5.00. So, when 'hired help' is available very cheaply, it's not very smart to try and do these things yourself. You should stick to doing the things that you really are good at.

There are some really great online, work from home businesses; which, if you are willing to work at, will enable you to make you a very good income and will give you the freedom to live life on your own terms. A life that can bring you very rich financial rewards, and will enable you to have the time to travel the world and meet new people. People who are of the same, entrepreneurial, go-ahead, mind set as you are. You don't have to do everything yourself, in fact it's not very smart to even try.

One of the misconceptions that people have about owning their own business, is that you need to have a huge amount of start-up capital in order to do it: well, a a misconception is exactly what that is, a wrong idea, a misunderstanding. Because you definitely do NOT need a huge pile of cash to get started on the pathway to owning your own business, your freedom giving, liberating and very profitable, own business: in fact, you can get started for less than $50. Nor, do you have to try doing everything yourself; there are very successful people who are willing to mentor you, to train you and, virtually, 'hold your hand, along the road to financial freedom.

It will pay handsome dividends for you to think about all the "somethings", that you may be currently struggling to do by yourself, which you should really be delegating to someone else. Just imagine, if you owned your own online business today, ask yourself, would you follow that dodgy piece of 19th century advice, "If you want something done right, do it yourself?" Just take a look at the list below.

• 
  
• Creating products to sell
• Sourcing products to sell
• Generating traffic
• Converting traffic
• Phone sales
• Customer service
• Website design
• Business accounting
• Tax returns
• Staff payroll

WOW! I don't know about you, but I get the mental picture of somebody in a circus, rushing to and fro, desperately trying to keep those plates spinning around, on the tops of bamboo canes? How many people would even have the necessary skills, or the time, to efficiently handle all of the ten tasks above: very few I would imagine.

However, you can have someone do all of those things for you; and, that's what you should look for, when you think about owning your online business. That, and for the smallest possible start-up cash outlay and the ability to automate your own business, in order to free up your time, so that you can enjoy the money you're making. That's what you should be looking for, when you begin to think about owning your own online business. You should only try to learn from people who are more successful than you are; and, then you really can actually start living your dream.

Would you like, a 'Done-For-You' sales system WITHOUT ever having to pick up the phone to talk to anyone. Would you like to have personal 1-on-1 coaching with a Top Tier, very experienced, coach; (you'll have the phone number and email address of your coach.) Would you like to have access to the most effective sales funnels and best-selling products in the industry; and, a 'Done For You' fulfillment, payment processing and customer service for all of our products, You will have 'Done For You' phone sales, by a team of expert phone sales rock stars, who'll make and close all sales for you.

Would you like a 'Done For You' marketing system: so that all you have to do is place ads (which we'll give you); and, when this marketing system automatically turns them into buyers, you get paid BIG commissions. It really is that simple, all you have to do is advertise and send us leads; then, when we convert those leads into sales, you get paid!

You're at a fork in the road now; and, if you take the wrong path, on the left, and do nothing; then, tomorrow, you'll be stuck in just the same place where you're now at. You'll be living life by someone else's rules, and making money for someone else, with no hope of ever enjoying financial freedom. Here's the honest truth; you can resent the wealthy or you can join them, but only if you take the right path.

If you have the courage, you CAN take that path on the right. Here it is, below:

• The path to change...

• To a better life...

• A life full of Big Paydays...

• A life with no "money worries."

8 Home Based Business Ideas

It is very possible to make a good living right from the comfort of your own home! Yes it is! Because, I personally know people who have been working from home for many years now. So, the question is not, "Is it possible?", but the question is, "Will you do it?".

The truth is, if you are a stay at home mother, a House-Wife, or if you're just a self-employed entrepreneur, then you're gonna need to do something to bring in some income. You can't just stay in that house and do nothing, because those bills are not gonna pay themselves! So, you gotta get cracking!

There is no one size fits all approach to establishing a good home-based business, because everyone is different and unique. But, here are 8 home-based business ideas that you might consider.

1. Daycare / Babysitting Services

If you are good with children, then why not consider making a living off them? You can totally turn your living room into a kid friendly daycare spot!

You can charge per child for the week or for the day. This can really bring you in some serious cash, because face it, people can't take their children to work with them all the time. So, a professional woman or a working man may need an extra set of eyes and hands to look after their little booger while they are at work or running errands.

To be successful with this home-based business, you are going to need to be well organized and very punctual. You need to be on time with this one, because you may be getting clients in the early morning or needing to collect kids at the late evening time.

2. Personal Assistant / Office Administrator

If you are a professional at heart, then this might be a great home-based business venture for you.

Plenty of entrepreneurs, start-up attorneys, artists, musicians, and freelancers require administrative help. You can easily provide that office hand that they need to make their business run smoothly and easily.

If you find one single client, you can make some good top dollars. But, if you decide to accept a few clients, then you can even pull in way more!

This type of home-based business would be ideal for a person who has a history of working in an office setting.

3. Tutoring Services (Instrument - Academics - Computers)

If you have an area of expertise, you can totally turn that into a money maker! Tutoring, teaching what you know, and helping others to become proficient in a subject will never go out of style.

If you are serious about your approach, you can easily find yourself booked all up for every day of the week with a client!

Give lessons in guitar, or teach word processing in Microsoft Word, or even give lessons in math, history, or language arts. Really, the only limitations are the ones you put on yourself.

4. Tarot / Psychic Readings

This one may seem a bit different and odd, but the truth is, it still qualifies as something you can totally do from home.

If you're into this type of work, you can easily pull in a decent weekly or daily income.

You can provide services via phone, or you can have clients come visit you.

Many of your clients are simply seeking a mutual talking face to face buddy. Someone who is gonna speak positive to them and help them sort their own spiritual path out.

5. Book Authoring / Writing

You have some great ideas and some stunning stories floating around in your head! It's time to bring them to life! Becoming a book author might be the perfect thing for you.

If you sat down and wrote just a few hours a day, you can put out nearly a dozen books for the year! Writing a book isn't hard at all, but it only requires discipline and focus.

The money might trickle in at the start, but if you continue to write, you will eventually build up a loyal readership.

As long as you produce quality content, the books will basically sell themselves.

Also, you can blog, and write articles, and make money off of marketing in your articles or via donations that readers make because they love your style so much!

6. Personal Laundry Services

This is a different one, but it still makes the list! Face it, people can't go to work smelling like butt and feet! Those clothes must be washed! You might be the perfect person for the job too.

Don't overlook this one. It's the jobs that nobody wants to do that you can truly make a killing off of.

People can bring their laundry to you at the end of the week, and you can have them fresh and smelling clean for the next week to come. Even, if they dropped the clothes off at the start of the week, you can have them done in a day or so.

7. Food Catering Services

If you're a Chef at heart, then this might be your calling! Put your apron on and get busy.

You can create a menu, which would be the foods that you prepare the best and the most often. Then, you can have your clients place their orders in advance.

You can service big events if you're up for the tasks, but you can also do small jobs too. Cook for your entire building or town, or provide catering for weddings, birthdays, and even baby showers! The possibilities are only limited to your imagination.

8. Barber / Hair Stylist

Do you have that magic touch when it comes to hair? Because, you so could make a great living doing hair right from your own home!

Many people are not too good at doing their own hair, but the thing is, they still need to look decent and presentable. This is where you come in and save the day!

Usually Hair Stylist charge per session, but you can be super creative. If you cut hair or braid often, then you can consider a monthly service fee, and keep a regular in your chair. This way, it won't feel like a hustle to you, because the money is already set in place.

Working from home can truly be a great option for many. Don't forget that there are pros and cons with just about everything you can think of though! Because, working from home may be super convenient. You won't have to worry about commuting or travel expenses. You don't have to worry about a boss hanging over your shoulder either! But, since your work is at home, you won't have a place that you can fully retreat to and relax. Plus, since you're home, you may be tempted to dine a bit more, use more electricity, and the expenses of your home may generally increase a bit.

Regardless of where you work, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you enjoy what you're doing. Because when you enjoy what you're doing, you will be able to do a super good job!

The 6 Truths Behind Online Marketing

In my opinion, through much trial and error where I experienced a lot more of the latter due to the 6 things they don't Tell You. But the reasons for not telling you justifies the silence, because the truth leaves a really bad taste and have a nasty habit of inspiring despair.

The Number 1 Truth - You Will Not be making money tomorrow, or next week and even next month. I know, and I'm sure you have that bad taste I was referring to earlier right? It doesn't change the fact due to one simple little necessity.

The products you will be promoting as a successful affiliate marketer Must All Come with a Back Door, kind of like a safety net in the form of a 100% No Questions Asked 60 Day Money back Guarantee. So even if you had a sale tomorrow (Which You Won't), you still need to honor the 60 day waiting period before the Product Vendor will release your commissions.

The Number 2 Truth - The Sport Cars and Yachts with the lovely Island Condos, and blue beaches... and two weeks later your dreams are shattered. It sucks, I know believe me but the real kicker is that in some cases it's in fact the truth. There are professional affiliate marketers earning Thousands of dollars per day, after like 10 years of exceptionally hard work and research. These guys literally worked almost 24/7, because most of them still had a day job to sustain for an income when they got started. They sacrificed the needed time, which can only be determined by each individual separately. They spent their money, fuelled by the fascination of the long term goal of Financial Freedom and they refused to give up!

Rule Of Life Applies - What you put in is what you get out, and little effort with minute determination will result in an equal to income. There's that bad taste again, bear with me.

The Number 3 Truth - There are Literally Hundreds of Thousands of Affiliate marketers competing With You. ClickBank Alone have close on 200,000 Affiliates and each one of them is trying to earn a commission. So no, the chances of you shining as a Professional amid a Disgustingly Large Crowd is slim to none... and there's that taste again! If you want to stand out your Best Kung Fu in this "Fight" Is Content, and you will not have that unless you have tested the product you wish to promote. So yes, you Will Spend Money if you want to Make Money.

Get used to the taste, there's more;

The Number 4 Truth - Those traffic Packages you've been spending hundreds of dollars on with Zero ROI (Return on Investment), just stop it already! The chances of you generating actual Sales Online with that is slim to none at best... Why? Because in my opinion, and after wasting the same amounts of money I realized something. None of these "Clicks" were even remotely interested in my offer. Yes, with bounce rates as high as 90% I fail to see any interest from that Visitor.

Now a bounce rate is basically an indication of how many "Visitors" just opened your URL, and left which is completely pointless I'm sure you'll agree? The shocker is that the Majority of Super Successful Affiliate Marketers do Not Pay a Cent for Traffic! Because they all have their own Blogs, Websites, eBooks, Products, Articles, Groups, Pages, Communities, Impressive Social Profiles and a Vault of Information. Yes, THAT'S how much work Online Success Is.

The Number 5 Truth - That Nice 24/7 Holiday, snap out of it already! There Is NO Magic Button that will turn your PC into a money spitting ATM! If your 9 - 5 job is getting the better of you, then you seriously need to reconsider your strategy. You are going to be working harder than you ever have in any job or position you hold in any company. And you will be fortunate if you can afford an Island holiday in 5 Years' Time.

The Number 6 Truth - All those Social Profiles you have with the Thousands of Followers and Friends, from whom you never receive anything but sales pitches? Cut yourself lose because you're going to find it extremely difficult to stand out. How many of your Friends, Followers and Community Members are in fact targeted to your Profitable Niche?

Wait, hang on... what's your Profitable Niche? And this is where I say we add the crème de la crème of bad tasting Sauce to this meal. Your Profitable Niche is where your actual starting point should be. Not your own Blog, or Website and even your Email List because everything you do online must be targeted or not even attempted.

And that brings us to the extent of my Bitch-Craft (The Art of Upsetting People by Telling Them the Truth)... for now. I'll try to go a little easier next time, but I sincerely hate to sugar coat the truth in a desperate attempt to a sale.

Just because the truth leaves a bad taste, doesn't mean it is lesser the truth. It only confirms your suspicion.

But there's Light at the End of the Tunnel - Allow reality to set in, get comfortable and accept the fact that your Primary Focus is learning. NOT EARNING, Learning as much as you possibly can about your Niche. It starts with Testing Your First Product, and consider it as Pure Learning where you expect nothing but progress (Not Perfection). Whatever system you decide to test, be sure that the training starts with Keyword Research.

I know I sound like a Broken Record, but that is the One And Only Secret of Successful Affiliate Marketing. Now you may want to take a look at one of the training programs I find second to none when it comes to WordPress and Search Engine Optimization.

In fact, most of my own Blogging tactics I have learned I have done so with this exact system and I'm a member to this day! What I like most, is the fact that it starts by guiding you to discover your profitable Niche first and then on to Keywords. But please, I have to remind you that it is not a Magic Button because I cannot offer what I cannot provide.

I have to warn you however, as the video does start with rather impressive figures. But bear in mind the fact that it is an indication of what is Possible not Imminent, and the guy Earning those figures (George Brown) does not have One Blog. He may very well have a few Hundred Blogs, with keyword rich content, constantly updating. He's also a Product Designer and Content Master and I can sincerely confirm that he knows exactly what he's talking about, all you need to do is pay attention and be ready to learn. You will soon find something you absolutely Love Doing and be Blogging like a Pro before you know it. Take it one step at a time and strive only to be a little better than you were yesterday, even if you only learn One New thing each day.

You may want to Take A Look At The Video, because I am convinced this is the best place for you to start your journey, and yes there is a "Back Door" as I have mentioned earlier. But please take your time, set realistic monthly goals, because you're about to start a journey to which there is no final destination.

Is Your Online Business Getting You Down?

There are many internet business opportunities out there to make money. You can generate some extra cash by selling unused items, blogging part-time or doing affiliate marketing. It seems that new ways to make money online are appearing every week.

But starting and running your own online business can be hard work. And when the going gets tough, it's easy to lose sight of why you began in the first place. This can lead to you to become unmotivated, and it could be the collapse of the business you've worked so hard to build if you're not careful.

When you've encounter difficult times in your life, whether or not due to personal challenges or business pressures, times can get even tougher. If you're caught up in a negative place and feel you've lost the enthusiasm to continue with your online business, here are a few ideas to help you overcome these challenging times.

It's Not Just You

To start with, practically every entrepreneur goes through periods like this at some point or other. But, don't give up. It frequently helps to write a list of the reasons why you started off your business. What did you want from it when you first started? Did you want more spare time? Did you hope to have more financial security? Write down your original objectives and compare and contrast them to where you are now. It may be that your online business purely needs a little modifying and tweaking to meet up to your initial objectives.

Set Objectives

If you don't have something specific to work towards, it's difficult to remain enthusiastic. By setting obtainable and measurable objectives, you improve your probability of succeeding whether you meet them or not.

Plan Your Days

Instead of making a lengthy to-do list, write an doable list of tasks. This way when you tick everything off at the end of the day you'll feel you've had an effective day - as opposed to beating yourself up for not accomplishing what may have been an impossible list in the first place.

Outsource The Tasks That Bore or Frustrate You

When you start an online business of your own, it easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must do everything yourself. You may be on a limited budget and feel that you can't afford to hire help, or perhaps you're reluctant to let go of the total control you have. But if you're struggling with motivation, outsourcing can get you back on track by letting you to concentrate on the things you love about your business.

Outsourcing is one of the most cost-efficient ways to grow your business. It's how the biggest and most profitable businesses in the world generate the wealth and freedom their owners enjoy.

Digital Marketing Trends Of The Future in 2018

So, what does 2018 have in store for digital marketing?

Go Mobile

Smartphones are pushing laptops out of the way, and fast. 95% of people using mobile phones use Google for searches. Mobile phones have been the most popular devices for internet searches for the past 3 years. Taking these factors into account, Google is choosing to go mobile-first and we predict that the rest of the web will also follow suit.

What does this mean for businesses?

Invest in optimizing your website's mobile experience. Make your app user-friendly. 2018 will be all about anticipating what makes a consumer pick up his phone and perform a search. Brands need to be in the right place, at the right time, with the right information.

Get Personal

What do you think about pop-up ads and generic advertisements when you are online? That's exactly what your customers think of them too. Personalised, natural and organic advertising is the mantra. Avoid over-selling and boring clichés. Be genuine, human and interactive when trying to engage your customers.

Say "Hey Google"

The rise of voice searches, thanks to personal assistants such as Amazon Alexa and Google Home, are changing the face of keyword-based SEO. Long-tail keywords will become more relevant, relative to how queries are made verbally. Sounds simple? Imagine how many customers you will lose if you haven't thought of changing your content to cater to this change?

Be intelligent

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already being used to gather statistics and predict customer behavior. It is no surprise that 20% of AI technology is related to marketing. Have you ever seen ads for products that you have previously browsed, being showcased on other websites? Yes, that's AI at work. The voice searches mentioned in the above point also use AI.

We have just scratched the surface of the utility of AI in digital marketing. As machines learn to analyze behavior patterns and gauge content better, their effectiveness will increase exponentially.

Seeing is Believing

The use of visual media for digital marketing will become more significant than ever in 2018. Website visitors are four times more likely to watch a video than to read an article. Why do you think social media sites like Facebook have chosen to invest in live streaming? Getting on board with live videos could set your business apart from the rest. It's fast, it's easy and it works.

In order to keep from falling behind in the digital rat race, there are a few practices you must follow. Don't be afraid to dip your toes (and put your money) into different modes of digital marketing. Be excited as a digital marketer, to learn about new strategies that are being used to gain and retain customers. Be a trendsetter in the business world; nurture and create a brand that consumers love to be associated with, and you will soon be the talk of the town.

Create A Solid Online Presence to Make Money

In today's modern world, it's difficult to be a successful freelance writer without a solid online presence. Sure, you may get one or two clients via in-person networking, but the vast majority of your work, as an online freelance writer, will come from the web, on places like your website, your social media platforms and even via Google search results.

So if you're just starting your freelancing journey, consider building your online presence as step #1. It will be the foundation for everything you do as a writer, and it will help you build the lucrative and successful career that you've been dreaming of. Don't know where to start?

Here are the four must-have essentials:

1. A Portfolio Site - Your portfolio site is the most important piece of the puzzle. It's where potential clients can go to learn about you and your skills and read samples of your writing. It's also what will show up in Google search results if you practice search engine optimization techniques.

2. A LinkedIn Page - LinkedIn is a great place to find new clients and new projects. Upload samples of your work, get recommendations from colleagues and past employers, and create a profile to show off to potential clients.

3. A Twitter Account - With Twitter, you can establish yourself as a true expert in your niche and as a writer. Use this platform to share news and industry insights, and promote your work (and your client's!) whenever possible. Optimize your profile with the right terms and hashtags, and you may even snag a few new projects.

4. Your Own Blog - Starting a blog can help your career in numerous ways. First, it can display a great snapshot of your skills. If you don't have many samples yet, a blog also offers potential clients a way to evaluate your talents and see what you can really do. And it can help you establish yourself as an expert in a specific niche or industry as well.

Be sure to tend to your blog and profiles regularly, update them with new skills and samples as you gain them, and use them to their fullest potential.

If you need advice on how to create a client-attracting online presence that will help you get more writing gigs and build your freelance writing career, then you should check out Maggie Linders' Freelance Profit Academy.

Maggie, a six-figure freelance writer, teaches writers exactly how to build full-fledged, successful freelance writing businesses while offering personal coaching and support as well as daily scam-free job opportunities.

The Fastest Way to Earn Your First $1,000 as a Freelance Writer - You know what feels great? Earning your first big chunk of cash as a professional freelance writer. It makes you feel like you made the right choice - like quitting your 9-to-5, branching out on your own and blazing your own path was the best thing you've ever done. But if you're just starting out, it can feel like that day is a long way away. If you're starting off with content mills and bidding sites, you may very well be working for pennies - and that can take a while to add up.

Fortunately, those aren't your only options. You can earn $1,000 as a freelance writer fast - long before your mortgage is due and the tax man comes calling.

Here's how to do it:

Find A Few Clients In Need - Scour your LinkedIn network and check out the websites of local businesses and companies. Is there any group with a less-than-stellar website? You could probably beef up their web content and make a big difference. Are any of your connections starting a new job? Find out if their company could use content help. Is someone in the market for employment? Offer to write copy for their personal portfolio site.

Request A "Per-Project" Rate - If you want to reach $1,000 fast, forget billing hourly. Instead, propose a flat, per-project rate for your clients. Factor in how much time the project will take you, as well as your experience and skills, and come up with a fee that's fair (but profitable!)

Exceed Your Deadlines - Sure, that new client might give you a month to complete their new website content, but do you really need that long? More importantly, do you want to wait that long for your payment? The quicker you get to work, the quicker you get paid!

Get Deposits And Ask For "Milestone" Payments - If you're working on a particularly large project, a great way to get your cash early is to ask for a deposit or collect milestone payments. With a deposit, you'll ask for a certain percentage of your total fee upfront. This is to reserve your time and protect you from getting stiffed. With milestone payments, you can have the client pay you for each chunk of content you turn in - maybe per webpage your write, per blog post or per eBook chapter.

Make Payment Easy - Finally, don't make payment a hassle for your clients. Get a PayPal and Venmo account, and ditch the old mailed, paper checks you're used to. Bill clients via email, and let them pay you instantly and seamlessly online. It's better for both you and them. Earning your first $1,000 can seem like an uphill battle but it doesn't have to be that way. If you want a proven, step-by-step system to earning your first $1,000 and more in a short period of time, check out Maggie Linder's Freelance Profit Academy. This program has become very popular among freelance writers and has produced hundreds of success stories.

The Top 4 Places to Find Freelance Writing Jobs

You can find freelance writing jobs virtually anywhere - through old employers and colleagues, on Craigslist and bidding sites, and even on social media. Freelance writing opportunities are all around us. But as nice as it is to wade through the numerous opportunities, it can also make the process of landing new freelance gigs pretty time-consuming. Do you really have hours to scour the web, checking in on every possible job site, social platform and blog? Definitely not - at least not if you want to be profitable! Thankfully, you don't have to. Below are a few of the best possible spots for finding gigs - gigs that can be lucrative and interesting and get you on the fast track to earnings.

1 - Morning Coffee Newsletter

This handy newsletter found at Freelancewritingjobs sends daily job alerts straight to your inbox. It features 10 to 20 handpicked freelance writing jobs from across the Internet, each with a different client, pay and focus. Some come from Craigslist (which means you don't have to scour the dozens and dozens of city-based Craigslist ads for gigs!) and some come from other job sites across the web. The main point? The work is already done for you. Just sit back, check your email, and apply for anything that sounds like a good fit.

2 - Blogging Pro

The Blogging Pro job board is a great place to find high-paying, legitimate freelance writing gigs for one big reason: Clients have to pay to post a job on it. Sure, it's only $30, but when there are alternative sites that are absolutely FREE for posting, you know a client means business if they're willing to shell out cash for their post! You'll find everything from niche, industry-specific gigs to full-time remote opportunities for single clients. It's a must-see stop on your weekly job hunt.

3 - LinkedIn

LinkedIn can provide freelance writing job opportunities in two ways: 1 - Job postings on the site 2 - Easy and seamless networking. Though networking takes a little more work, you can often spot opportunities for gigs just by checking your feed daily. Did someone change jobs or get promoted? Reach out and see if they could use your services. Is someone launching a new website? Ask if they could use help with web content. You never know when a job is right around the corner.

4 - Freelance Profit Academy

Job scams are plenteous on the web, and unsuspecting freelance writers can get caught in their devious web easily. Thankfully, the Freelance Profit Academy houses a daily, scam-free job board that weeds out scams and supplies you with the highest-quality jobs sourced from around the web. Review each and every job to provide you with only the best ones.

Visual marketing is gaining popularity because the human brain can consume and retain visual content easily.

Infographics

Infographic is an incredible type of content that really helps readers absorb complex information.

How to Create a Content Calendar for Your Blog

If you've been following our blog lately, you'll notice that we've been talking a lot about social media and the need for a strategy. Yes, most definitely social media is also about sharing the content of others, and spontaneous posting, but an overall social media marketing strategy is essential.

One of the core concepts in any strategy is planning - and in this case, we're talking about planning your content, so you're never struggling to find a topic to write about, but you're also thinking through what makes sense for you.

Here are our top 10 tips for creating a content calendar for social media:

1.Start with a way to get organized, I personally like Excel for this. If you have a team and are collaborating on the content calendar, you may want to use Google sheets, so you can all see it in real time. You'll want 12 columns for the months, and then you can use the rows for the weeks of the month.

2.The easiest tip is to look at statutory holidays, and time themed blog posts. We strongly recommend that for holidays that are commemorative in nature, that your blog be a resource for giving back, for example prior to Thanksgiving you may want to post resources to give to those who are less fortunate, or volunteer opportunities.

3.Now its time to do a little research - what industry events are coming up that are relevant to your market. These could be conferences that you may or may not be attending, or big releases you are aware of. Mark these down on your calendar - ESPECIALLY if you're going to be there.

4.Schedule a blog before the conference talking about why its relevant, perhaps comparing it to years previous. If you're there, blog the week you're there about it, and of course schedule a wrap up blog to comment about what a success it was!

5.Do the same thing for any thought leaders in your industry - do they have events coming up (in-person or virtual). Dedicate a week to promote them!
For both 2 and 3 above, reach out to the organizers of the event and see when registration opens, ask them if they have content that you can share.

6.And while you're at it, offer them a guest blog spot!

7.Look at your own calendar, do you have a launch this year? You'll want to schedule blogs before your launch, during and after. Remember, you'll also want to blog about your planning, do a slow release (teasers) about the launch. This is your opportunity to build excitement!

8.Now look at your travel schedule - where are you going to be (personally or professionally). Blog about what you're going to be up to. Your followers may reach out when they know you'll be in the area to meet up in person.

9.Plan a regular feature, for example if you're a nutrition coach, start the month with a blog about meal planning for the month, and then for the last week of the month do a check in.

10.For each of the ideas noted above, you'll now want to build out how the message will be delivered across your different digital marketing platforms (LinkedIn, blog, Facebook, Instagram, etc.). How should your message differ depending on the medium its being posted to? How do they all connect back to a lead magnet to collect contact information?

With just these 10 tips, you should find your calendar filling up nicely! You can use current events or a literature review relevant to your industry to fill in the gaps.

You're done!

We'd love to see what you've come up with! Feel like sharing? Send it along, we'd be happy to offer a few more suggestions to fill in any gaps or answer any questions you may have.
Happy planning!

Several Reasons Why You Are Always Broke

There are several reasons why people are broke. Here is my short list of reasons why people are broke and will continuously be broke. Your attitude towards money began when you were a child. You had great instructors and in most cases, they were your parents. Remember the axiom "from the root to the fruit?" Usually the fruit does not fall far from the tree, meaning that you are usually a product of your parents thinking. Sound Familiar?

Instead of waiting for your fate to magically change. You may want to take a serious look at all the things you are doing that may be contributing to your financial despondencies. That's right. Everything may actually be your own doing. Here are several known motives why people find themselves broke. You may recognize a few of them. If you follow some of the advice I am about to share with you, in time you will be able to dig yourself out of the hole you dug for yourself.

Many people have crutches that hold them back in life. Some people smoke, drink, eat tons of fast food and don't run unless they are being chased by a rabid dog. So maybe your health is not so great, but at least you are having a great time. Chances are, your finances aren't in good shape either. In most cases, bad habits are a big financial drain on your pocket book and there is nothing great about that at all. As a matter of fact, most people that I have come in contact with have many crutches they are depended upon. No one wants to admit they are suffering from multiple addictions. One thing that I am cognizant of is that if people can give up their personal crutches and extinguish their bad habits they can amass large amounts of money in short periods of time.

Just think about it for a second, a pack of cigarettes costs $8.00 on average and that comes out close to $2,900 a year on a pack-a-day smoking habit. Now, as for alcohol, even restrained drinking can add up. Just think of it, two glasses of wine a day can run you over $1,500 a year, and that calculation is based on consuming the cheap stuff at home. If you are a bar drinker and you prefer Bordeaux, you are paying a whole lot more. Wow! And you complain that you don't have money to go anywhere. I wonder why.

Another reason why people go broke would be that they try so desperately to keep up with the Joneses and don't realize in most cases that the Joneses are living a lie. Just because someone is driving a new car or is wearing an expensive gold watch doesn't mean that they are high rollers. Many people are living off credit cards. 70% of the people in the United States are living well over their head. The IRS states that only 5% of the American people are financially independent. That means that 95% of the American people are faking it. You should never try to live a lifestyle you cannot afford.

Instead of purchasing a new vehicle you might want to check out other options like purchasing a used vehicle in excellent condition. No one will know if it is a new vehicle or not, unless you tell them. The raw reality of it all would be that no one truly cares about you anyway. Lets' put my theory to the test. I want you to go outside every day for a month and ask everyone that you know or passes by to help you pay off your mortgage and vehicle loan. At the end of the month I want you to count the small change you have collected. You will find out what I already know. You will be no closer to paying of your home or vehicle or anything else for that matter. You may have enough to purchase a couple cheese burgers at the golden arches. Now, if you are trying to purchase a home, you may want to put down 20% and keep your monthly payment below 30% of your gross income. The golden rule when purchasing a home would be to own the home and not allow the home to own you. Don't become a prisoner of your home due to trying to keep up with the Joneses.

Do you have more month at the end of your paycheck? Are you taking care of an entourage that is not taking care of you? It is time for you to take a good look at the people you surround yourself with. Are you hanging around the wrong crowd? Didn't your mother use to tell you about hanging around the wrong crowd? I know my mother did. She use to tell me repeatedly "birds of a feather flock together" and she was right. I learned the hard way by hanging with the wrong people and yes, it did lead to trouble. The funny thing about what my mother told me back then still applies to me today. You have to be very careful of the people you surround yourself with. Everyone does not wish you well. You have gold-diggers, leeches, and other parasites out there that will latch on to you and strip your wallet or purse clean without leaving prints. They will come around empty handed and help you drink up, eat up, and spend up your money until it is all gone and once everything is gone, you will find no trace of them until the next time they sense you have something they want or need. They never seem to come around when they have money. Anytime you seen them, they have a tall tale to tell.

You have to make a list and check it twice, for you have to find out who's been naughty or nice. You must shun the parasites in your life. There comes a time in everyone's life to where they have to become cognizant of where they stand. They must take out the trash and know that they will be better off for doing so. You must become disciplined if you stand any chance of negating any bad habits you formed while surrounding yourself by the wrong crowd. Let me be the first to tell you. It will not be an easy road to follow, but it is surely probable.

I know that many people dread hearing about watching TV too much, but if you are watching TV too much you may want to pay close attention to this segment of this article. I get it, there is nothing like coming home from work and kicking off your shoes, getting comfortable on the couch, and cutting on the TV. But if you are falling behind on your financial obligations you may want to re-evaluate your comfort commitments with your TV set and make some major changes to your life-style obligations. Research found that 77% of those struggling financially spent more than an hour watching TV and 74% spent more than an hour surfing the internet for fun. Conversely, the majority of wealthy individuals spend their time engaging in self-development activities, getting involved in alterative income producing endeavors, and/or follow paths of their dreams that could very well lead to hefty financial rewards.

Whatever you do, don't let laziness, uncertainty, or fear keep you from reaching for the stars. Taking baby steps is better than not taking any steps at all when it comes to producing an alternative stream of income. If you have a spare room in your home, you may want to entertain the possibility of renting that room out to make ends meet.

I am sure your parents badgered you about how important it was to get an education. I hate to be a bearer of bad news, but they are right. I found out from experience long ago that your income can't surpass your knowledge. Oops! I let the cat out the bag. Lets' compare life time earnings between a typical high school graduate and a typical college graduate with a bachelor's degree. I am sure you will agree that the statistics are bewildering. Over a 40-year career, a worker with a bachelor's will earn $1 million more than a worker with just a public high school diploma. This is not a misprint. $2.42 million versus $1.37 million, according to the U.S. Census Bureau projections. If you have a master's degree, it bumps you up to $2.80 million. That is one world of a difference, wouldn't you agree!

Please keep in mind that going back to school does not guarantee a bigger paycheck, but it sure does not hurt to do so. If you do decide to go back to school, you will want to be cognizant of how much student loan debt you amass. A good practice that you will want to follow would be controlling the student loan amount borrowed. You will not want to borrow any more than you expect to earn in your first year of work.

There are several other reasons why you are always broke but I did mention that this was my short list. Just know that it is possible to turn it all around if you put your mind, heart, and soul into it.

If you would like to learn more about not becoming broke you may want to pick up my latest book "The Essential Keys To Financial Freedom." at http://www.drmarkhuddleston.com What are you waiting for? Do it today!

5 Ways To Make Money From Home in 2018

If you want to make money from home pay close attention. In this article I'm going to give you 5 ways you could be getting paid on the internet in 2018.

Have you noticed that in 2017 the term "side hustle" became very popular?

I recently read an article that said over 50% of the workforce in the United States has some sort of "side hustle" that they use to supplement their income.

With that many people looking to do something on the side, you have to admit that the cost of living is growing faster than the minimum wage.

So let's go over a few of the ways that you could be earning money from home in 2018.

#1: Become a Social Media Manager

Social Media Managers have become really popular since the explosion of social media over the last decade.

A social media manager is exactly that; a manager.

So if you were to become a social media manager your job would entail sending/receiving friend requests, posting multiple times per day, engaging and reading incoming comments, etc.

You'd think that this is something that anyone could do, but there are many successful entrepreneurs and business owners out there that are gladly willing to pay someone to handle these mundane tasks on their behalf.

If you think you are proficient on social media maybe this is just the side gig for you?

#2: Learn How to Trade Forex and Cryptocurrency

It amazes me how few people have even heard of Forex. Forex is an acronym for Foreign Exchange.

With Forex you are buying and selling currencies just like people buy and sell commodities like corn, coffee, and orange juice.

This is an invaluable skill to learn because when you have it, you can write your own paycheck. Just keep in mind that this is considered the same as gambling in the eyes of Uncle Sam, so you will have to pay some hefty capital gains taxes on anything that you pull in.

Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin are not only something that you buy and hold. You can actually trade cryptocurrencies as well.

#3: Join a Network Marketing Company

Although network marketing companies tend to get a bad rap, most people are oblivious to the fact that network marketing is a 100+ billion dollar per year industry.

More money per year is generated from network marketing than from all of the professional sports in the United States each year, combined!

A network marketing company gives you the chance to become the CEO of your own organization from day number one.

In Corporate America you typically start off at the bottom of the ladder and are forced to work your way up. In Network Marketing, you start of at the top of your organization, but you're responsible for building and training a team of independent sales representatives who have common goals.

#4: Get Started With e-Commerce

You can also get involved with e-Commerce. You know, things like eBay, Amazon, and even Shopify.

This is where you have yourself a virtual business. You can sell virtually anything that you can muster up from your imagination.

Dropshipping is also a big part of successful e-Commerce selling. Otherwise you'll need your own products to sell and most people don't have that.

e-Commerce is a great way to make money working from home if you're not really a people person and you're not cut out for the sales life.

#5: Get Involved in Affiliate Marketing

Affiliate Marketing is all about selling other people's products/services.

Virtually every company known to man has an affiliate program of some sort these days. For example, if you refer someone to Time Warner, they will pay you.

By simply sharing products and services that you use every day you can earn a percentage each and every time someone makes a purchase from your individual affiliate link.

Which One Of These Methods Are Best?

While all of the above methods are great, there really isn't one that's "best" per se. However, if you plan on making money from home on your computer you're going to need to receive the proper training. Otherwise it could realistically take years for you to learn and become a master of online marketing.

How would you like to receive training from an 8 figure earner on all 5 of the strategies listed in this article? To learn more about how to make money from home in 2018 visit my blog and read my LifePreneur Review

Think Twice Before Stepping Into That Trap

Have you ever searched the internet looking for ways to make money?

According to Ninja Outreach, there are 500+ different ways to make money online today. Many of the programs that are promoting a way of "How to make money online," being sold today are not fresh but used and now being monetized or worse. Learn the things to watch for because some people just want your money, and to keep you busy until the 30-day money back guarantee is up.

Some are set up just to continuously tap your credit card or bank account by up-selling "must have" products, for best results of course. Make sure that you watch out for the extra must-have purchases or up-sells. If that starts shortly after your initial purchase, then it might be a warning sign of more to come.

After some really good training at Wealthy Affiliate University, I now know how to spot the opportunists that are just out to get my money and give back as little as possible. I think that it's very important that we all be able to spot the actors and learn ways to avoid being taken advantage of before a con artist gets hold of our credit card or bank account.

I heard a "fact" that 90% of everyone that buys a product related to internet marketing online, at some point, feel as though they've been ripped off. I really dislike being taken advantage of and I'm sure that you do too.

There are some things that I look at and for

Once you become aware of what to look for in a good program it becomes really easy to see in most cases whether you should invest your time and money or not. Knowing the ways to avoid scams online can save someone a lot of aggravation and money.

Someone may contact you and say that you're already a winner and you just need to give some personal info in order to collect your prize, maybe your bank information so that they can direct-deposit your winnings, and they may need your social security number for the taxman too of course.

Con-men have figured out just what works on people to get what they want from them while giving as little as possible themselves.

Most have a few things in common other than the obvious and if you can learn to spot the warning signs and not dismiss them but take note and think twice about the situation, you might not fall prey to someone's trap.

Here are some signs that should make you hesitate and think twice about the situation.

1. If it sounds too good to be true then it possibly is.

Even though a 100% legitimate program can be made to sound "too good to be true" with a great sales pitch, this is definitely true with a scam, they can make up anything and lie and deceive us if we're not alert to some things. Hustlers will prey on the fact that many would love to make money fast and with little effort and they have no idea how the whole online business world operates, so they are lied to, or misinformed, and conned into purchasing the bait. The scheme will dangle a carrot of easy money to distract you from what they're really after and that's your personal and/or bank info.

2. Act Now - Don't Wait!

Some scammers are notorious for creating a sense of urgency and they try to get you to act quicker by disturbing your thought process. They use that false sense of urgency to distract you from what they really want, your money.

Even though it is possible to earn thousands of dollars per week online, it ain't easy!

A point to be made here is that there is a definite difference between an offer that is just low quality in what it delivers and a swindle. A scam is a deliberate rip-off, a dishonest scheme, and a fraud.

The truth is that although you have the impression in your mind that you'll be making money in a matter of weeks, it may take much longer and cost a lot more than you originally thought.

As with any business, there are various tools that need to be used for best results. Some of these offers will include everything but most will "up-sell" some things as must-have items for you to purchase separately. This is just something to watch for when purchasing a product or program.

Example: you purchase a program to make money online for $199. Sounds great, but then after getting done with the first lesson or stage, you are sold a must-have product to help with the program for $50. There could be a few of these surprises hidden in the program and after a while, your total spent amount is $500. I would like to know that before I purchase anything and I'm sure that you would too.

3. No or false contact info on their website

If you can't find any way to contact the seller on their site then be very careful. If they're hard to contact you'll be disappointed because if you have any questions you need them to respond quickly with the answers. For you to feel confident making a purchase you'll want the safe feeling that you can get in touch and get a problem solved within a reasonable amount of time and not wonder if the support even received or cares about your claim.

4. Up-sells

As mentioned earlier, if after your purchase you are encouraged to then buy an additional product so that you can get the full benefit of your purchase, that's not a good sign. Your newly bought product needs you to buy another product in order for it to work properly. This could be just the start of more up-sells coming to grab some more of your money. Keep watch out for that because you could start out with a $20 purchase and end up with $500 in receipts... yikes, what happened! Now my product should work just fine right? This is why I've learned to always recommend products that you can try out first.

5. Outrageous claims to success

When you see commercials or video of these guys driving around in their Lamborghini's and welcoming you into their fancy million dollar homes and sailing around on their yachts, there's a good chance that you should change the channel because their product is not worth your time or energy. Their sales pitch is really their product and the product being sold most likely isn't worth half the price to you. The images of money and luxury that they show you in their sales pitch can make you want to buy their product even knowing that it very well could be a rip-off.
